Default Scratch Repair

After a day at work, I returned to my car to find the attached scratch damage Any idea if I need to take it to a body shop for repairing or if a mobile service could sort it? unfortunately the size of it doesn't make me want to live with it!

Mobile will do it ok, end result is a lottery as it depends on the guy fixing it and whether the weather is making life easy for him, if you want it looking factory it's a bodyshop where they will paint and clear coat into the adjoining panels.


Doesn't look like a car hit you, looks more like an abrasion from something like a trolley or lift carrying bricks I'd guess.


Also check with both the reception and the police as someone honest may well have reported it in, it does happen but they won't seek you out you have to go ask.

Some of these repair companies are excellent (local one used by my son for a wing and at a later stage for a wheel scuff)
Try and get some references from other users will help.
